Biography

Herth was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin. In 1937, Herth began to work with jazz pianist Willie "The Lion" Smith in Chicago, when Smith also signed to Decca Records.[2] Herth, Smith, and drummer O'Neil Spencer formed the Milt Herth Trio.[2] The trio became a quartet with the addition of Teddy Bunn on guitar in April 1938.[2]

Herth also played himself in several short films (Love and Onions (1935), Swing Styles (1939), and Jingle Belles, (1941)) as well as the longer 1942 film, Juke Box Jenny, a movie noted for being a series of musical performances.[3] He died in Las Vegas, Nevada on June 18, 1989.
